They forgot that now, alas! they loved each

Of Johns marriage, and discussed Jess plans

little incident relating to wearing birds

give her own words. She said:
Zone day our pastor said during SER
vice. that when he was in Florence 8
lady came to him and said: DO come
with me and hear those birds sing, oh!
such mournful notes. There was room
full of birds in very small cages, and
these birds were all blind; they had theil
eyes put out. In the night the owners
take them outside the city and hang the
cages in trees. The trees are then all
smeared with tar. These birds keep uE
their pitiful singing and other birds are
attracted to the cages and are stuck on

their eyes put out. And these birds are
killed and sent to America for ladies to
wear on their bonnets.

ton to see what ladies had birds on their
bonnets, and I was glad there was none
on mine, and I don't think l can ever
wear bird again. ."-Wade A,ea6e.

A Caterers Profits.

"Where does the profit come in? 1t is
made on pastry and oysters and light
farinaceous food" said New York Ca
terer to a Mail and Erpress reporter.
"Take chocolate eclaires, for instance :;
they can be bought for three and one
half cents each and served at five cents.
Oysters are bought at SO per thousand
and sold at twenty-five cents dozen.
Eggs are variable and sometimes bring in
q profit, but frequently do not Then
profits too often depend on seasons. Some
seasons we do not do any business, COM
paratively speaking, and Others the re-
verse is the case. But even with big
run of customers, medium-priced restau-
rants do not make much money. Another
risk is run during the vegetable season.
Salads, lettuce, tomatoes and early veg
getables do not sell at all on cold days.
As rule, though, they afford some profit
during the season. The best article fol
profit is milk. During the summer
months the amount of milk sold is simply
enormous, and at five cents glass
handsome profit is made. The profits,
however, vanish under such heavy eX-
penditures as coal, rent, walters, ice,
electric light, and hundreds of other
items

Some Strange Fruits.

Among the attractions Of fruit stand
on Fulton street is the sour sop or Gus
tard apple of the tropics. Its form varies
somewhat, but the heart shaped predom-
mates. Its pulp is of g woolly appearance,
but it contains an agreeable sub-acid
Juice. They are offered at fifteen to
thirty cents each, their size varying from
Dix to nine inches in circumference.
Mammee apples sell at fifteen cents to
twenty-five cents each. The fruit IS OF
an angular form, and of the size of a
small mellon. The outer rind is leathery,
and the inner rind thin and yellow. The
flesh of the apple has very pleasant
taste and an aromatic smell. Spaniards
say so, but an American who tasted one
yesterday, said he considered its favor a
cross between laundry soap, molasses,
and turpentine.
Cherimoyers are offered at twenty
five cents each. They are oblong and
from two to five inches in diameter.
They have a light green color with a
white pulp and few black seeds. Their
pleasant sub-acid flavor is highly es-
teemed, and by some they are considered
the finest fruit in the world.
The large pineapples in market should
not be sliced when served. Take the
crown of the pine with the left hand, dig
out the eyes, and with strong fork tear
the pine into shreds until there is nothing
left but the core. Throw this away.
Arrange the shredded fruit lightly in the
fruit dish. Strew over it a liberal quantity
of sifted powdered sugar, tablespoon
full each of brandy and curacao, and two
tablespoonfuls of maraschino. Then let
it stand in the ice box until quite cold
before eating.
What is known as the green or jelly
cocoanut is in market. It retails at
twenty-five cents. One quick stroke of
a knife exposes half pint of clear water,
surrounded by a substance the color of
dissolved tapioca. This is eaten with a
spoon and is delicious.
Bananas are eaten raw by natives when
ripe, but the plantains which have just
arrived are eaten cooked before they
attain their maturity. Roasted, fried, or
made into fritters they are delicious.
Most people make the mistake of cooking
ripe bananas, thinking they take the
place Of the plantain.-Neo York Saa.

The Only Diamond Of Its Kind.

A Maiden lane diamond merchant has
in his possession a remarkable jewel. 1t
is diamond in the rough, nearly round,
and weighs three and half carats.
When the cutter took the stone 10 pre-
pare it for the polishcr, the first sharp
blow divided the diamond into two
nearly equal parts. Upon examination
it was found that a perfect natural dia-
mond crystal had been the nucleus about
which the layer stone had formed. The
nucleus is perfect cube and weighs ap-
parently three-fifths Of a carat. One-half
of the cube projects above the face of
the matrix. 1t is the only specimen of a
diamond crystal in the world.-Jesselry

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
The Value of Pond Muck.

Pond muck varies considerably in
character as the nature of the soil from
which it is derived differs and the guam
tity of organic matter in it. 1t usually
contains large proportion of mineral
matter derived from the washing of the
soil, and the organic matter varies as the
pond may have contained various kinds
of animal matter and aquatic plants.
Usually it contains about as much fertil-
izing matter as common yard manure;
hence it is we'll worth the trouble of
draining off the water and gathering the
sediment 1t should be composted with
lime and coarse litter and left to decom-
pose three or four months, after which it
makes very seful top dressing for grass
lands. -Nep lork Times.

pastures as it is the moving land; the
farmer should not only cut the bushes and
keep them down, but he should occasion
ally apply 400 pounds of ground bone
and $50 pounds of muriate of potash to
the acre; if this be done, only once in ten
years, it will very much improve the feed
and will also improve the condition of
the cattle, as the fertilizer adds to the
grass, elements that are very important to
the health of farm stock.
